Bulgarian peppers stuffed with chicken mince, vegetables, and herbs are a fragrant and juicy dish deeply rooted in Bulgarian culinary traditions. Historically, stuffed vegetables often appeared on Balkan tables, showcasing the harmony of simple and accessible ingredients. Baked sweet pepper acquires a tender texture, while the filling of chicken mince, tomatoes, herbs, and yogurt fills it with freshness and softness. Melted cheese added at the end gives the dish richness and an appetizing crust. These peppers are perfect for a cozy family dinner or a festive feast, delighting guests with their rich flavor and beautiful presentation.
